Just got in from bike night down the Qway and now unpacking my shopping! Be glad to spend the night in my own bed. 2 nights away on sleep in, shattered

Thought about coil overs, but to be honest, I don't really want the car any lower, and I couldn't be bothered to mess about setting them up. I'm fairly happy with the improvement. Just need to get the back done now. Definately notice the back being softer.

Still get confused as to tightening (shorten) the strut brace after fitting it, when I refitted it, I undone the adjuster lock nuts, bolted it to the struts, adjusting accordingly to get the holes to line up, then done the strut bolts up, and nipped the lock nuts back up, so there was no tension on it, should the be a bit of tension pulling the turrets together?

When I made the one for the rear, I made the mounting plates up first, drilled a few holes to facilitate with mounting it, and welded the bar between the two with mountings in place, if that makes sense?

I would have thought some tension would be good to start with but guess it's to stop struts moving so maybe it's doing the right job?
